\nFree Bicycle Valet Parkin g will again be featured at the Solano Stroll \, but with a new twist: the Albany High School Mountain Biking Team will b e taking the lead for this important service\, using Albany Strollers & Ro llers’ specialized racks! The new location will be on Key Route Blvd just north of Solano Avenue – it’s near the Greenway so we’re expecting lots o f drop-ins so it’s sure to be busy!!
\nAs usual\, AS&R will also hav e an information table near the lot where we (YOU!) will talk about and an swer questions about active transportation stuff!
\nWE NEED YOU TO MAKE THIS A SUCCESS!

00 bikes in the past!!) or volunteer at AS&R’s info table\, please contac
